Title: A short 3D trip within the Mandelbrot Set

Best viewed in 1080p and 3D Side By Side mode. But I recommend downloading a much better quality version from: https://mega.co.nz/#F!LFk1nLZQ!lHKZhLEEJ6ys37igV4oyFQ (https://mega.co.nz/#F!LFk1nLZQ!lHKZhLEEJ6ys37igV4oyFQ)

I added a third dimension to the Mandelbrot Set (to its border, actually) based on two principles:

- The original Mandelbrot Set is a 2D photo of the “extended 3D set”. In fact, that’s what you see in the video if you don’t view it in 3D.

- The more the iterations needed to know that diverge, the more the distance to a point from the observer. The Mandelbrot Set points are at infinite distance.

I developed an algorithm to calculate what each eye would see if you were looking at this three-dimensional set and rendered some images, and now a video.

I hope you like it.

I don't see the 3d effect.

Sorry, I forgot to say that you need to watch the video on a 3D TV.

I know it's annoying, but I do think it's worth it. Everyone I've shown it to (image gallery or video), fractals fan or not, has been impressed.
